I am sorry. I haven't used 'aliases' and MSILO module. So my knowledge
is very limited on using
these features. We also have a setup somewhat similer to what you had
described, but we have a
plug-in for SER from which we fetch the records from the database,
modify the uri and send it to
Asterisk. This works fine for us and as you said, the ${EXTEN} in
Asterisk dialplan handles all
such numbers.

Hmm... what do you mean about fetching from the database?  I am using
the mysql module and have the subscribers and aliases stored in the
database...  it sounds like I want to do exactly what you are doing -
lookup the alias in the database and then modify the URI.  Do you have
any advice as to how you are doing this?

  Sorry if my explanation about the 404 is confusing...
it's confusing for
...
  me too! Attached is the ser.cfg (I hope it retains the
indentation!)

...
 From your ser.cfg: if
((method=="INVITE" || method=="ACK") && t_newtran() ) {
     t_reply("404", "Not Found");

I think this is why you get the 404 message failure route. Instead try
this:

if ((method == ....
{
    t_on_failure("4");
    t_relay();
    break;
}

Thanks - I'll try this! Although I'll need to check to make sure that I
still do cope with true 404 errors. 

Thanks for all the help,

D
